All molecular motion stops at absolute zero because absolute zero is the coldest possible temperature. And it is only able to achieve this temperature if the molecules/atom do not possess any thermal energy. And thermal energy is what causes vibrating motion of the molecules/atom. Thus at this temperature no molecules/atoms will vibrate due to the complete lack of energy.
"absolute zero" or 0 degrees Kelvin.
The most significant thing about the temperature of absolute zero is that is marks the point where molecular motion stops. It is equal to −459.67 degrees Fahrenheit.
The Kelvin temperature scale is designed so that zero Kelvin is the lowest possible temperature, at which all molecular motion has ceased, hence, it is absolute zero.
No molecular motion only ceases when the temperature is at absolute zero. The molecules have retained their kinetic energy although they are at equillibrium.

This is called absolute zero. The temperature is 0 Kelvin or -273.15 degrees Celsius.

The temperature is absolute zero, a minimum temperature of matter based on continually reduced molecular motion. (Although absolute zero cannot be attained, it is possible to get very very close, to about 170 billionths of a kelvin.) Absolute zero is approximately -273.15 °C

Yes - if one is using the Kelvin temperature scale. Molecular motion is predicted to stop at "absolute zero" a temperature so low it cannot be achieved by scientists. 0º Kelvin = −273.15 ° Celsius = -459.67 Fahrenheit

Only at a TEMPERATURE of Absolute Zero. There is no Molecular motion at that point.
